Since I am in one, I tend to notice these things!

A Ford Escape ad, and a Subway ad, as I recall.

one of the kids hit a daily double, and bet his whole 11 thousand. alex' comment was, "I think your folks just had minor heart attacks"--pan to the parents--two women. I would say that some little reichwing fundy heads would be exploding, but cannot see that type actually watching that program.
